Show ADVANTAGES OF GOOD SILO 8ize of Receptecle Should Be Adapted to Number of Head of Animala to Avoid Spoiling. HAY DOOR EASY TO HANDLE One Shown in Illustration May Bo operated by Boy Pulling at One of Ropes. Wa built a barn laBt fall, CO by 48 feet, using two by sixes for studding on each side of the opening left for the hay door, writes Ernest Siler of Wells, Kan., In the Farmers' Mail and Breeze. We made the door of cypress flooring and it is cut to fit the gable of the roof. The track and rollers are known as the Rig Four kind, the track being twice the length of the Latest In Hay Doord. opening left so the door will slide down out of the way. Two rollers are used on each side of the door. The door is raised and lowered by means of a rope passed over a well pulley on either side with a sand bucket attached to the lower end. The sand buckets work up and down inside the barn, the ropes passing through holes cut in the mow floor. Such a door looks neat when up or down and a boy can easily handle it by pulling at one of the ropes from the mow floor. (By PROF. W. M. EATON. Connecticut Experiment Hlailon ) One of the greatest advantages ol the silo is that it cun be made to tide over tbo time when there is a serious diminution of green pasture feed during July ana August. The question of the size of a silo becomes very important. During the warmest part ol the year silage spoils very rapidly where it comes in contact with air. aub Spoiled silage Is a dangerous stance to feed. Resides tainting the milk and upsetting the digestion of the cow. It often becomes poisonous To avoid this, it is necessary to feet off each day from one and a half to two inches. If this is done the silage does not have time to change or fer ment much. A silo 18 feet in diametet will feed 42 animals; 16 feet In diameter 33 animals, snd 12 feet will feed 20 animals. If the herd is large enough, two silos of different diameters are a great economic convenience. For the winter feed use the large diameter, and for summer the small one. Another advantage is In filling. One will be settling while the other Is being filled and one-thir-d more silage can be put in both. The tall, narrow silo is better than the broad low one. The loss Is much less Taking all things into consideration, it is evident that a round, wooden stave silo is the best. And a woodea silo, if taken care of as it alwayi should be, can be made to last as lon as a wooden building. Certain proo esses can bo applies to the wood, suck as soaking It in some wood preserve tive or applying asphal' im and creo aote substances to the bottom of th staves for a few feet, keeping tha other outside areas well painted These are factors which would deter mine the lasting qualities of a alio. The size of the silo should bt adapted to the size of the herd. A tall silo with a rather narrow dl a meter Is preferablo. Silage is pro served best with the least loss In s Should Be Carefully Cleaned and All Defects in Walls Made Tight With Mortar. (By WALTER B. LEUTZ.) Have the cellar carefully cleaned before storing away any of the winter supply. If there are defects in the wall make them tight with mortar. If the windows are loose, repuir them. These little things may be the means of saving the entire contents of the PRETTY MODEL OF HAT IN THE PREVAILING STYLE. Season Shows Little Change in Fashion Coral Pink Satin With Black Velvet Brim Is Employed In This Case. . who is short Very many of the latest designs, whether in velvet, satin, silk, beaver or felt, come In attractive shapes of a medium size. Some of these have rolling brims and a two-toneffect In the colors. This, too, tends to give the appearance of great er height when worn on the head ol a short or small woman, as the shape and height of the hat la thua brought Into more prominence than If tha whole design were fashioned in one-toneffect. High trlmmlnge are always becoming to the short woman, and this year the newest hats show either decidedly low or very high trimmings. Another point to be remembered by the short woman when selecting a hat is to be sure to try It on standing up before a long mirror as well as sitting down before a short one. The neglect of many women to do this Is the cause of much disappointment In a new hat when it is tried on at home before a long glass. e e The shapes for children have changed less than those for grown people and so has the poise of their hats. Womens hats have grown smaller In the headslze and are worn upon the head like a mans hat Slowly, but surely, the brims are lifting.

This type of woman in years past has always had much trouble In getting becoming shapes ot hats. In most cases these were either too small or too large so largp, in fact, that the small face and tiny features of a short woman seemed all but lost in the huge sized chapeau that she was obliged to select, unless she preferred one of the very small shapes which gave her a decidedly old look. Many people are under the impression that a small hat Is the best choice for a short or small woman. Thin is really a mistake. A small hat does not help matters along as much as might be supposed. The medium sized hat is the rorrert one for the short woman- - that hat which has much of the charm of a picture hat without its great bIzp. So tons Fancies in W.L. DOUGLAS Figures.
